Syntagma: answers to common team questions

How do you get rid of the tab and app zoo in a team?

Syntagma puts your team's chat, video calls, and tasks into one browser tab. Nobody jumps between a messenger, a call app, and a tracker or hunts for where a decision was made. The team keeps focus, laptops stop lagging, and you pay for one subscription instead of seven.

One tab instead of seven services

• A typical employee keeps 20–30 tabs open, and according to Harvard Business Review (2022), toggling between apps costs almost 4 hours a week.
• Chat, calls, tasks, roles, and guests are built into Syntagma, with no third-party plugins or integrations.
• Chat, video room, and task board run in one tab, so the browser holds one app instead of several heavy ones.

How do you set access rights once for all work apps?

In Syntagma a role is assigned once for the whole Space and instantly applies to chats, calls, task boards, and collections. A new hire gets the right access in a minute, and a leaver loses it in one action. No more seven admin panels or forgotten accounts.

Assign a role once, and it works everywhere

• One permission matrix per Space replaces issuing access by hand in 7 separate business services.
• The owner assigns owner, member, and guest roles, creates custom roles, and allows or denies individual actions.
• Changing or revoking a role during staff changes takes one action and closes access across every module at once.

An alternative to the Slack, Zoom, and Jira stack

Syntagma replaces the Slack, Zoom, and Jira stack with one workspace. Chats, video calls, and a task board are built in and look the same, so the team never relearns tools or glues services together. You pay for one subscription and manage permissions in one place, not three.

One workspace instead of three subscriptions

• The Agency plan costs $100 a month for 15 seats with chat, calls, and tasks included.
• One interface across every module, so nobody relearns navigation or keyboard shortcuts.
• All collaboration happens inside one product, with no fragile third-party integrations or syncing webhooks.

Why are work web apps slow, and how does Syntagma stay fast?

Usually the slowdown comes from a stack of tools: a messenger, a call app, and a tracker each keep heavy tabs open. Syntagma puts chat, video calls, and tasks in one tab. Teammates' changes arrive instantly, without reloads, and the computer runs one app instead of three.

Speed from one tab instead of several apps

• One Syntagma tab replaces a messenger, a call app, and a tracker, so the browser runs one app instead of three.
• Messages, task statuses, and call participants update for everyone at once, with no page reload.
• Syntagma can run on-premise inside a company's closed network when data must stay within the perimeter.

How do you invite a client into the workspace without showing the internal kitchen?

With Open Kitchen you invite a client into the Space as a guest. They see only the collections you open, follow the progress, and leave comments. Internal channels, draft tasks, estimates, and team debates stay closed. Guests are free, unlimited, and never take paid seats.

The client sees results, not the internal kitchen

• Open Kitchen gives an unlimited number of free guest accounts that never use paid seats.
• A guest can only read and comment on what the owner explicitly opened.
• The internal task tracker, private channels, and in-progress debates stay hidden by Space visibility settings.

Why is one workspace subscription cheaper than a set of separate SaaS tools?

In Syntagma you pay for the Space, not for every person in every tool. A startup needs $20 a month for 3 seats or $100 for 15 seats, with chat, video calls, and tasks included. Guests are free, and the first 30 days cost nothing, no card required.

One clear price instead of a bill for every tool

• Pro costs $20 for 3 seats, Agency $100 for 15, Enterprise $200 for 30; every next 15 seats add $100.
• The fixed price covers every collection the catalog ships, with no forced move to a more expensive plan.
• Yearly billing charges 9.6 months, so you save 20%.

How do you connect company departments and branches without losing shared context?

Each department or branch works in its own Space with its own people and roles, and Syntagma joins them into a federation. Seats are bought as one pool and shared between Spaces, shared channels connect teams, and search finds anything across the company within each employee's access.

Separate branches, shared seats and search

• Each additional isolated Space costs $15 a month and turns the setup into a federation.
• Subscription seats add up to one company pool and are distributed between Spaces as needed.
• Global search finds data across every Space of the federation while respecting each employee's access rights.
